Include OR Group With Exposed Filters in View

Question

I have a view where I need to include an OR group for example (a + b) OR (C) as well as using Exposed Filters that will apply to both groups, giving something like (Ex1 + Ex2 + ((a + b) or c))). Is there any way I can make the exposed filters apply to both groups at the same time?

I thought it may be possible using nested or sub groups but I know it is not possible to create nested or sub groups in filters through the UI.

I think you can achieve it by adding new filter group from views UI.

Edit: If your case is more special then you can achieve it using hook_views_query_alter.

if (!$new_feed) { 
  $query->where[0]['conditions'][1]['field'] = 'node.nid'; 
  $query->where[0]['conditions'][1]['value'] = array(); 
  $query->where[0]['conditions'][1]['operator'] = 'IN (' 3, 4 5')'; 
} 
else { 
  $query->where[2]['conditions'][1]['field'] = 'node.nid'; 
  $query->where[2]['conditions'][1]['value'] = array(); 
  $query->where[2]['conditions'][1]['operator'] = 'IN (1, 2, 3); 
}

You can unset where condition as per your use case.
